About Me

I am currently working as a Lead Machine Learning Engineer at LevelAI. My team is is spread across India, USA & Canada and we primarily work on solving challenging NLP problems at scale to extract and deliver insights from contact-center conversations. Previously, I was working at Mastercard’s AI Garage as a Data Scientist where we were leveraging AI to make the transactions world a smarter and secure place. In my corporate experience, I have mainly worked on applied research, meaning I have been involved both in incorporating AI and Machine Learning in product development (leading to product launches/patents) as well as pure research work (publishing papers at AI conferences).

I did my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT (BHU) Varanasi. My B.Tech thesis advisor was Prof. K.K. Shukla. I worked on privacy-preserving Machine Learning and its application in the medical industry. Previously I had also worked with him on Adversarial Machine Learning and Malware classification problems. In summer 2019, I was an intern at Samsung Research Institute - Bangalore, working on mobility in 5G networks. I also worked as a research intern at the C3i Institute, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur on Malware Detection for Linux, in winter 2018. In summer 2018, I was a Data Science intern at Innoplexus, Pune (India), working with the Computer Vision team. I have also worked with Dr. Anil Kumar Singh, on sentiment analysis on product reviews and natural language generation through shared tasks at conferences.

When not working on research, I enjoy playing CTFs (wr47h), either solo or with my team Abs0lut3Pwn4g3. I also enjoy competitive programming and reading novels.
